A hose, of radius 0.018 m, is connected to a water faucet. The water pressure at the point where the hose connects to the fauce
t is 150,000 Pa. The other end of the hose is connected to an outlet of radius 0.011 m, where the water comes out. The total length of the hose and outlet is 15 m. (a) An experiment shows that the water exists the outlet with a speed 5.2 m/s. What is the flow rate through the hose?
(b) What is the maximum height that the end of the outlet can he held above the faucet, and water still comes out?
(c) Suppose there is a small hole in the hose. How does that affect the speed at which the water comes out? Explain.
An object that is moving wants to stay moving in a straight line. It takes an outside force acting upon it to change its direction or cause an acceleration.
